The European Commission is evaluating a possible strengthening of Frontex's presence in Ceuta, according to reports. This assessment arises in the context of a request made by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who has called for more support in managing borders.

Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, is looking to determine where it can provide greater assistance in the region. The focus is not only on a reinforcement but also on maintaining the agency's current presence in Ceuta.

Details about what this reinforcement could entail or which areas of support Frontex may consider have not yet been disclosed. The deliberations of the European Commission aim to ensure an effective response to the border situation.

The assessment is ongoing, and for now, Brussels is examining the needs of the region, having not yet made a final decision on future steps.
